Photographing flying birds at 1/100th of a second is not really recommended unless you are looking to create motion blur. I’m a big fan of creating motion blur with birds like snow geese and sandhill cranes but the opportunity to try it on snowy owls doesn’t come along all that often. On this occasion, a very early morning encounter, before the sun had broken the horizon, was just that occasion. Although I knew the chances of a clear shot were negligible, it didn’t stop me from shooting this magnificent bird. At 1200 mm handheld and only a small break of light highlighting the owl, I love the moody ambiance. #SnowyOwl
